prob what i'll end up doing.

the frag problem i refered to was either a sectional density problem with the round they were using or they were shooting ballistic tips.
however, i've used ballistic rounds before without a frag problem.

That was me. It's a 125 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip that we handload to go 3200 FPS. It's not light recoil. It's absolute hammer of the gods on whitetails though. It does not fragment. It blows a hole out the other side every time on broadside shots. Only way to stop it in the carcass is shoot longways down the deer and I've pulled a perfectly intact mushroom from the opposite ham on the last one I shot longways from the shoulder.

They flop over dead almost every time. Rarely any tracking involved.
